My job here at Livingetc is to make your life easier by sourcing some of the best products and finest materials for you and your home. After all, I know how challenging redecorating can be. Finding the right piece to match your home's overall vibe, color, and aesthetic is key, and well, one little mistake can certainly have a big impact.
As I've mentioned before, overlooking even the most minor detail can disrupt your home's overall ambiance, which is a significant design faux pas. And yes, that includes your window treatments. Whether it's curtains or blinds, home furnishings can look dull and off-putting if they're crafted from poor-quality materials. Which is why knowing where to purchase the best types of blinds is key, and most importantly, where to buy ready-made blinds.
Without further ado, let's explore some of the chicest, affordable, and easy-to-use brands that offer some of the finest ready-made blinds.
Next
More than just a fashion brand.
Whether you're looking for kitchen blinds or bedroom blinds, homeware and fashion brand NEXT has it all. First established in 1864, the brand has since grown into one of Britain's favorites. In addition to offering clothing and homeware, NEXT is also recognized for its stylish furnishings, including blinds.
The brand also offers made-to-measure blinds, blackout, roller, roman, vertical, shutters, and more. I'm currently eyeing up these Emily Bond Pink/Blue Printed Stripe Roman Blinds as well as these Natural Ready Made Blackout blinds.
These blinds also make for the perfect window treatment for small rooms due to its trendy striped design.
